A day off school = trip to the zoo

Peyton had the day off yesterday (Monday), for the future kindergarten class to do their screening.  A LARGE group of kindergarten moms met for a morning at the zoo.  To say it was a tad chaotic would be an understatement.  I think the head count was somewhere around 25 kids with 6 adults (all kindergarten and under).  It was fun, but crazy!  It's like we had our own little field trip.  Kids were darting and weaving everywhere......we only lost a kid once.  Which kid????  Drum roll please........MINE!!!!
We lost Peyton for a few minutes.  We were leaving the inside part of the Children's Zoo.  We were trying to get all the kids corralled and one of the moms said they saw Peyton in group.  So we started heading to the play ground part of the Children's Zoo.  Once we got there, the mom that thought she saw Peyton had this panicked look on her face.  I asked her what was the matter.  She said, "I thought Megan was Peyton because they both have on gray pants and pink shirts."  So I left them with my other two and sprinted back to find Peyton.  She was crying and a little scared.....but was able to quickly move on.
All in all.....good day!!!  The kids had a great day and they told me this morning that they are looking forward to summer break to be able to do all the fun things again.  Me too.....me too!

Now the ladies are driving Jack around...

This picture cracks me up.  This is how Maddie was looking on
our way out.  Reclined in her stroller, let kicked up, eating fries and
other snacks.  There were a handful of people that stopped and
laughed as well.  She did look pretty funny!!  Kicked back and relaxed
